Although traditional telephone and cable TV networks use mostly copper wire and coaxial cable to deliver services, Verizon FiOS is 100% fiber optic, bringing you state-of-the-art voice, TV and high-speed Internet service. With FiOS, your home is now ahead of its time. Verizon FiOS uses hair-thin strands of glass to carry information, in the form of laser-generated pulses of light. When those pulses of light reach your home through our network, they are converted into electrical signals in a box installed outside your home called the Optical Network Terminal (ONT). Once the signals have been converted, your home’s existing telephone wiring and coaxial cable carry voice and TV signals to your phones and TV sets. Either CAT5 or a combination of CAT5 and coaxial cable is used to carry Verizon FiOS Internet signals. Similarly, when information is sent from your home, those electrical signals are changed into light pulses in the ONT so they can travel to their destinations. Unlike traditional self-powered telephone or cable television service, your Verizon FiOS service depends on your home’s power source. 5 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 6 The Optical Network Terminal (ONT ): Your light source Traditional telephone service uses copper wire to transmit communications signals. Verizon FiOS, however, transmits signals using hair-thin strands of glass fiber and laser-generated pulses of light. When that light reaches your home through the Verizon network, it is converted into electric signals in a box installed outside your home called the ONT. That way, it can be “read” by your telephones and computers. Information that is sent from your home will be converted from electric signals to light in the ONT. Unlike traditional self-powered telephone service, your Verizon FiOS service depends on your home’s power source. FiOS TV Installation Diagrams Depending on the type of home you live in, your FiOS TV service will be installed using either the model shown below or the one on page 7. Single-Family House Router Optical Network Terminal (ONT) 6 ONT Power Supply Unit (OPSU) & Battery Backup Unit (BBU) M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 7 Some Apartments/Condominiums If you live in a building with multiple units, such as an apartment building or other location with multiple tenants, the ONT and Battery Backup Unit (BBU) may be installed in your apartment’s utility room or closet (see Single-Family House diagram). However, in many apartments and condominiums, the ONT/BBU are installed in a centralized location in your building. In that case, the information on pages 6–12 may not apply to you. Router Optical Network Terminal (ONT) ONT Power Supply Unit (OPSU) & Battery Backup Unit (BBU) 7 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 8 The ONT has a power cord that goes into your home through the ONT Power Supply Unit, where it plugs into an existing standard electrical outlet. To ensure connectivity to the Verizon FiOS network, please make sure your ONT Power Supply Unit is plugged in at all times. One of these ONT models will be installed in your home. ONT Power Supply Unit (OPSU): Your electricity source Your ONT requires electricity to operate all Verizon services provided on the FiOS network. The OPSU supplies that power by connecting your ONT directly to an electrical outlet in your home or garage. The OPSU contains a single indicator light that tells you if electrical power is present. If the indicator light is dark, electricity is not flowing from the outlet to the ONT. In normal operation, the light should be green. The ONT requires very little power to operate. In fact, the amount of power needed is as little as what it would take to operate a couple of night-lights. Problems with your equipment or service? Please go to fioshelp.verizon.com or call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center at 1-888-553-1555. 8 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 9 Battery Backup Unit (BBU): Continuous power when you need it In case your ONT Power Supply Unit is accidentally unplugged — or in the event of a commercial power failure — a BBU has been installed to provide you with backup power for voice service for approximately four hours. Your BBU was installed in a location in your home or garage where it can be easily monitored — most likely near the OPSU. The BBU is connected directly to the ONT to provide backup power if it’s needed. In addition, the BBU contains a series of indicator lights that tell you whether your service is being powered by your home’s electricity or the battery. The BBU also tells you when the battery needs to be replaced. The average life of your battery is between one and four years, depending on the average temperature of the environment. When your battery does need to be replaced, you can purchase a sealed lead-acid battery at a major electronics outlet or home improvement store. Note: Battery disposal standards and requirements vary by state. If you need to replace the sealed lead-acid battery in your backup unit, please check the following Environmental Protection Agency resources for proper disposal instructions: visit epa.gov/epr/products/batteries.html or call the EPA directly at 1-800-424-9346. 9 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 10 BBU Audible Alarms: Both BBU models are equipped with an audible alarm to inform you of problems with your BBU. The alarm sounds for two seconds and then is silent for 58 seconds. The conditions listed below are the potential reasons for the audible alarm. You can use the alarm in combination with the indicator lights to troubleshoot your BBU issue. Low Battery — Alarm is silenced if the battery voltage goes above 12V (electrical power has returned), the battery is fully discharged or the battery is removed from the BBU. Foreign Voltage — Alarm is silenced once the foreign voltage has been properly removed. Replace Battery — Alarm is silenced when the battery is removed. Overcurrent — Alarm is silenced once the overcurrent has been properly removed. Since you are responsible for the management of your battery, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with the indicator lights and audible alarm, to ensure that you have backup power if it’s needed. Please note: During a power outage, only your telephone service will receive power. Your backup battery will not operate your Internet or video services, or your router. 10 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 11 BBU Indicator Signals: You have received one of the following BBU models as part of your FiOS installation. Please look at the photos to determine which model you have. Model #1: The BBU model at right has four distinct lights to signify certain conditions, as described below. Lights: Systems: Green — Operating normally. Blinking Green — Battery is going through a self-test. Yellow — ONT is operating from the battery and the battery is discharging. Blinking Red — Battery is fully discharged and needs to be replaced. Battery: Green — ONT is operating normally. BBU is on standby. Yellow — Battery is either recharging or conducting a self-test, or the BBU is providing power to the ONT. Red — Battery is low. When this light comes on, approximately two hours of talk time remain. Replace Battery: Red — Battery needs to be replaced. Auxiliary: Green — Auxiliary battery pack (ABP) is connected to the BBU. ABP option is currently not available. Off — No auxiliary battery pack is connected. Problems with your equipment or service? Please go to fioshelp.verizon.com or call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center at 1-888-553-1555. 11 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 12 Model #2: The alternate BBU model below uses a combination of buttons and lights to signify certain conditions described below. Buttons: Battery Emergency Use — To protect you in an emergency, the BBU will shut down approximately one hour before the battery is fully depleted. If you need to make a phone call, press the Battery Emergency Use button once. This will enable the ONT to reboot, and up to one hour of battery life for talk time will be provided for emergency calls. After the button is pushed, all remaining battery life is used. Alarm Silence — Press this button to silence an audible alarm. Lights: Auxiliary Power: Not currently available. Replace Battery: Red — Battery needs to be replaced. Battery Power: Red — ONT is operating off battery power; no AC power available. Blinking Red — Battery power is low. System Status: Green — Indicates normal operation.

Your router contains special diagnostic software that can help us troubleshoot and correct problems, should you experience trouble with your connection. 13 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:46 PM Page 14 Troubleshooting Tips If you experience problems with your FiOS TV service, the following checklists could save you a call to the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center. It will also help us get to the root of the problem faster, when you do call. Power: 1. Check to see if you are experiencing a power outage. 2. If there is no power outage, check to see if your OPSU is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the indicator light is illuminated. 3. If the indicator light is not illuminated and the outlet is a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), check to make sure it hasn’t been tripped. If it has, press the reset button. 4. Check the fuses and circuit breaker to make sure your outlet is working. Reset the breaker or replace fuses, if necessary. 5. After taking these steps, recheck the indicator light on the OPSU to see if it is illuminated. If it is, recheck for service. Battery: If you are experiencing a power outage, please review the following battery troubleshooting steps: 1. Check the lights on your BBU (see pages 11–12) and check the battery connection inside the BBU. 2. If the battery is properly connected and the Replace Battery indicator light is red, replace the battery in your BBU, as it is fully discharged. 3. After taking these steps, recheck the BBU indicator lights. If the battery lights are not in normal status, call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center for assistance. If you have gone through the above Power and Battery checklists and are still experiencing problems with your FiOS TV service, call the Verizon Fiber Solutions Center directly.

(See Quick Tips on page 46.) 44 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:49 PM Page 45 Parental Controls The FiOS TV IPG provides the ability to control and manage the programs and content that come into your home. With Parental Controls, it’s easy to: • Selectively block programming by channel, rating or category. • Selectively block Pay Per View and VOD purchases. • Set up two different user-defined PINs (one for purchases and one to block programs). • Hide adult programming from the TV Listings. When programs with a particular rating level are blocked, the IPG automatically blocks the higher ratings. Also, if you have the DVR Set Top Box, programs recorded with a PIN require the PIN to be entered, in order to play back the recorded program. 45 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:49 PM Page 46 Quick Tips: How Do I...

More and more people are entering the new era of High Definition Television — and FiOS TV can be your gateway. If you have an HD-ready TV, and if you chose either the High Definition or DVR Set Top Box, then you’re ready to enjoy the incredible picture quality this new technology has to offer. Shows being offered in HDTV are identified in the TV Listings by the HD symbol at the end of the program description.

Shows for which Reminders have been set appear in the program listings with the symbol in front of their titles. Note: Since the FiOS TV DVR gives you the ability to schedule a program to record automatically, you won’t ever have to miss a show you want to watch. Just highlight a show you want to watch in the future and press REC on your remote control. You can then decide if you want to record the entire series, and whether to add padding at the beginning or end of the show. Create and use a list of my Favorite Channels? 1. Press on the remote. You’ll see a program listing made up of all available channels. 2. Use the or ARROW buttons to highlight each channel you want included on your list. 3. Press OK to add a check mark next to it.

You can pause and rewind live TV — and even record one show while watching another. It puts you in control of your TV viewing schedule, enabling you to watch what you want, when you want. LIVE TV SKIP FORWARD FFWD (Fast-Forward) PLAY RECORD SKIP BACK REW (Rewind) STOP PAUSE 51 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:50 PM Page 52 Getting Started Using the Remote Control Your remote control has special buttons designed for managing all the features of the DVR. Use the remote control buttons (PLAY, STOP, PAUSE, REC, REW, FFWD) just as you would on a VCR, to control digital recording and playback of recorded programs and live TV. Several other buttons (SKIP BACK, SKIP FORWARD, LIVE TV) have exclusive DVR functions, which are described in this Guide. Recording Capacity Your DVR is designed to record up to 120 hours of standard definition digital TV programming. Recording analog or HDTV programs will substantially reduce this capacity (due to the format of analog programming and the much larger amount of information in an HDTV broadcast stream). Selecting an Item with the Remote Control In this Section, “Select” means to highlight an on-screen item by moving to it with the ARROW buttons and then pressing OK. Recording TV Record a Show That’s Currently Playing Record the show you’re watching by pressing REC on the remote. A red indicator appears in the upperright corner of the screen for a few seconds to let you know that recording has started. Since the DVR continuously stores in its memory the channel that you’re watching from the time you first tune it in, the portion of the show that you watched prior to pressing the REC button will also be recorded, up to the limit of the internal memory. (Program limits: Standard Definition = 70 minutes; High Definition = 18 minutes) 52 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:50 PM Page 53 Schedule Recording of an Upcoming Show or Series Use the ARROW buttons to highlight the show you wish to record in the TV Listings. Or use SEARCH to find and select a show. Press REC on your remote. A red dot will appear after the show title in the listings. Shrek 2 11/10 1 Hr 32 Min example If the show is part of a series, you can schedule recording of each episode of the entire series by pressing REC a second time. With our smart SERIES RECORDING feature, each show in the series will be automatically recorded, even if its time slot or length is changed by the broadcaster. Three red dots indicate that SERIES RECORDING has been scheduled (pressing REC a third time will cancel the scheduled recording). Desperate Housewives 11/10 1 Hr 0 Min example You can choose whether to record only first-run episodes, whether to add padding at the beginning or end of a show, or whether to permanently save a show. In addition, a SERIES PRIORITY feature lets you rank the series you want to record, so that the DVR automatically resolves schedule conflicts, before they occur. Review or Cancel Scheduled Recordings of Shows or Series Select RECORDED TV from the MENU. The list of shows scheduled to be recorded can be seen under the heading SCHEDULED. Or choose SERIES MANAGER and then SCHEDULED SERIES to see a list of series that are scheduled for recording. You will also see a reminder about how much recording capacity you have used. To cancel a scheduled recording, select the show or series to be cancelled. Select CANCEL RECORDING or CANCEL SERIES, depending on which you choose to cancel. Press EXIT on your remote to resume watching live TV. 53 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:50 PM Page 54 Recording TV (continued) Play a Recorded Show Select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu. Highlight a program that you want to watch on the list of recorded programs, press the OK button and select PLAY. Pause/Rewind/Fast-Forward a Recorded Show Use the PAUSE, REW, FFWD, SKIP BACK, SKIP FORWARD, STOP and PLAY buttons on your remote to control playback of a recorded program, exactly as you would with a VCR. When you use any of these buttons, the Progress Bar (see Progress Bar on page 56) will always appear, to show you exactly where you are in the program. 3x 3x 15x 15x 60x 60x 300x 300x Multiple speeds of fast-forward and rewind can be accessed by pressing the REW or FFWD buttons more than once. Press once for 3x speed, twice for 15x, three times for 60x and four times for 300x. Keep or Delete a Recorded Show Select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu. Highlight a program that you want to delete from the list of DVR RECORDINGS and select ERASE RECORDING. Once the recording space becomes full, the DVR will automatically delete the oldest shows, to make space for new recordings. To prevent the DVR from deleting a recording when it needs more space, select RECORDED TV from the Main Menu, choose a program that you want to keep and then select the SAVE UNTIL button. Record High Definition TV Shows Recording a show broadcast in HDTV is accomplished in the same way as recording a normal TV show (see Recording TV on page 52). Note: Due to the larger amount of information in an HDTV broadcast, your DVR will hold fewer hours of HDTV programming. 54 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:50 PM Page 55 Record Pay Per View Programs A Pay Per View program can be recorded with the DVR for later viewing. Simply press the REC button on your remote when the Pay Per View program begins. You can also schedule future Pay Per View shows to be automatically recorded. Just choose the PURCHASE AND RECORD option when selecting a show. It will automatically be recorded and ready for you to watch when you want. Dual-tuner Feature Your Verizon FiOS TV Set Top Box is equipped with dual tuners, so you can: • Record two different shows at the same time, even while watching an earlier recorded show. • Record a show while watching a Video On Demand movie. • Record one show while watching a different live show. Controlling Live TV with the DVR How the DVR Handles Live TV Whenever you tune in to a channel on FiOS TV, the DVR instantly begins storing the show in its internal memory and will continue to do so until you tune to a different channel. At this point, it discards the previous channel’s show and begins storing the new one. Once the internal memory is full, the DVR will progressively store the most recent portion of that channel’s programming, discarding the oldest. This memory technology allows you to control live TV in the ways described below. Pause or Resume Live TV; Frame Advance Press PAUSE on your remote to “freeze” the TV show you’re watching. Pressing the PAUSE button repeatedly will advance the video one frame at a time. When you’re ready, press PLAY to resume the show where you left off. Rewind or Fast-Forward Live TV Press REW on your remote to rewind the show you’re watching to an earlier point in time. (The DVR continues to store the live broadcast in its memory.) You can only rewind as 55 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:50 PM Page 56 Controlling Live TV with the DVR (continued) far back in time as when you first tuned in to this channel, up to the limit of the internal memory. Press PLAY to resume watching from the desired point in the show. Press FFWD to fast-forward a previously paused live TV show. Press PLAY to resume watching. Pressing REW or FFWD up to four times allows you to increase the speed at which you rewind or fast-forward a program. Press once for 3x speed, twice for 15x, three times for 60x and four times for 300x. 3x 3x 15x 15x 60x 60x 300x 300x Forward or Reverse Press PAUSE, then FFWD or REW for playback in slow-motion, fast-forward or rewind effect. Replay Live TV Press the SKIP BACK button on your Remote for an instant replay of the last seven seconds of the show you’re watching, whether it’s live TV or a previously recorded show. Resume Watching Live TV If you’re watching a program delayed by pausing or rewinding live TV, pressing the FiOS TV button jumps the show forward to the point currently being broadcast. Progress Bar The Progress Bar (shown below) appears whenever you pause, rewind or fast-forward a live or recorded program. It shows how much of the current show is stored in memory (orange bar), as well as what point of the show you’re viewing now (white line) and how far behind the live broadcast you are (end of orange bar). 56 M.VEFIFF60153.Phase2.crw1 12/22/06 5:51 PM Page 57 Not all services are available in all areas.
